maids who aren't even ministers put the cross is in this so it's towards imposing a no fly zone first display resolution and fierce opposition from the locals to any sort of intervention just be done a bushel full details for both. discussions about what to do with the levy or not to avoid that the u.s. vice president meets washington leaders in moscow not explore pics joseph biden hopes to do support for possible american military involvement and more in just a few months. and asking brushing all hearings on the radicalization of america's muslims prepared to start look at what lies behind it and the fears that it's

a little more than a religious witch hunt. alive from our studios in moscow you're watching our teeth thanks for joining us oh there is mounting pressure for action in libya after fresh clashes between rebels and the government shelling of airstrikes from colonel gadhafi supporters have pushed the opposition back on more than a thousand people are thought to have died since the uprising broke out almost a month ago locals are still united in their determination to keep out foreign intervention later on thursday nato defense officials and e.u. foreign ministers will meet them brussels to discuss what moves they can make our correspondent daniel bushell is there for us. later defense ministers here in brussels all meeting to decide. on any course of action be military humanitarian

the u.s. defense secretary robert gates is also here in brussels and he will brief officials and colleagues on how he sees action should be taken on wednesday a top pentagon official said that any action in libya should be taken under the umbrella of nato that's america's position as it stands and britain and france are discussing i'm trying to get a resolution a common front on imposing a no fly zone across the libyan airspace. on the promise of a humanitarian support for the country i spoke to russia's envoy to nato tree rigors in and here's what he had to say about the situation it's like. it's like in russian classical theater even the first act of a performance there's a gun on the wall needs you to shoot in a second and you commission of weapons and military forces in the region could lead

to war that's why pumping up the stereo may reach the point of no return when it becomes hard to explain why it was necessary to militarize citizens mind there's a real danger in using the science against libyan air bases to deprive a duck and his advantage as the legal head of state then there will be attempts to legitimize the rebels to make it seem to the outside the power has passed from could that be to the rebels there's no common front let alone between nato and non nato countries even within the nato alliance there's several disagreements pretty openly last night britain's foreign secretary foreign minister if you like william hague admitted that opposition is hardening to the intervention of foreign forces he said that they still need to go on the international support for any move and that international support is not there at the moment italy considered one of libya's closest allies of course of former colony of italy. is that colonel gadhafi

regime needs more breathing space it really needs to be given time and discussion and negotiation should be exhausted all such options should be exhausted before any military action takes place for the country's leader colonel gadhafi has come out very strongly saying that the libyan people will oppose any military intervention by foreign forces he said the libyan people would rise up as one against any such actions he said himself that his forces would respond strongly to any such imposition of a no fly zone little on any military measures and it came as he bombed all tanks in the in the country of course libya is a norwich country and the current crisis has led to a strong heightening of prices which of course is having a damaging effect on the world economy let's listen to what russia's envoy had to say on the issue of the situation on the ground in libya. and of course we've noted

that in the recent situation in the middle east and north africa social networks are actively used for organizing rebellious anti government movements i'm sure there is a mastermind behind it first of all reports from all major to be companies with their own information sources in libya contain many words little food which secondly views are definitely proportions of those for gadhafi and narrowly presented while the protesters are widely represented so it's help is being formed our correspondent looks on a boycott now reports from the about how the lack of control in the country could have devastating long term effects. after the liberation chance the rattle of kalashnikovs is the most common sound in ghazi ever since rebels the used weapons depot was in eastern libya rifles became the ultimate symbol of masculinity that every young man in the city once one thing in common between more. margaret

are free and the force the struggling to unseat him is a fascination with arms believe in later he developed a liking for kalashnikov rifle so much so that he even had an eight case to seven minish and planned built here in libya the rounds the sun produced an hour hailing all across eastern libya on the frontlines and beyond getting mad with baffles have become a fixture on the streets of bin ghazi they're eager to show them off and often slap happy in their handling of the arms. hands or a soldier from the bin the assy kerrison who joined their fries he says many of his fellow rebels don't have any experience with arms which he says is made out by their passionate determination of the will for troops who belong. to the last drop of gold is on the moon that. you've been ghazi is still living off of the revolutionary fever from dusk till dawn people congregate on this it is main square

calling for gadhafi to go most of the factories are closed the only people still working a shop owners was good. many people know people and public servants like these traffic police officers despite the loss of control over it is to leave here to get out the government continues to pay salaries to those employed by the space of the few dozen move yes i received my last paycheck about ten days ago but there is nothing to thank me for my salary is just two hundred fifty nine years ago but with this. agitation and uncertainty of the last three weeks already exerting their toll on public health in gaza a psychiatric hospital is now flooded with patients is preexisting conditions were exacerbated by their unrest nowadays because of the uprising lots of people suffering from. manic shoulders. some of our mission old

surviving that elapses from their previous mention problems now because of the. uprising because of the shooting the good with the paper and the really cool get out immediately most valuable asset for the opposition movement as that hatred these people together for the time being it unites those who spent years serving in his government and the victims are faced persecution yet their chance for free leave i get to be augmented by a clear vision of how to achieve it it is very hard to try to determine who could be the real charismatic leader the real strong structure that could come in on the ground they could say well i am well known by the libyans have a program have some horizons and i will be able to achieve or to be the alternative that will gain or that will help achieve better perspectives and

a better horizon illegal people in bin ghazi are now living of their savings sharing whatever little they have most of them are confident that once we get out that leaves the bright future will dawn on them but if past revolutions are anything to go by that bundles of arms and hordes of idly roaming man could mean exactly the opposite. somewhat artsy in ghazi libya. and append a journalist keith harmon snow says the u.s. is pumping out and see gadhafi to foster support for what he calls america's oil operation in libya. what we're getting is a pro you asked for a pentagon one sided picture of a situation which fills the media with the idea that there's freedom fighters involved in and that there is a government regime that and an atrocious terrorist government for the last one hundred seventy roughly this is nonsense. here was an established government

whether we like them or not just north korea and iran are established governments when we like them or not or the sudan government and what's happening against them is a war of aggression we are serving one side to portray the idea that could happen is a terrorist and all these people have been killed and freedom fighters are involved in foreign language freedom fighter hasn't been used since the attacks against the by the contras against the iraq war in one thousand name and it's it's a massive oil operations been going on with the support in the involvement of italy france and britain since one thousand nine hundred seventy since nine hundred fifty nine when it was discovered that the us hasn't had a piece of that pie and the idea is to convince continue to convince the american public that genocide is happening in libya which is absolute nonsense and therefore we need to take it you know the all powerful white american role is to go out there and save somebody that needs saving and actually were involved in the killing because we're i believe we're supporting the rebels in libya. and on the way in and our ortiz carson report is in egypt

a country still reeling from the protests which forced their president from power last month well max and stacey discuss how revolution in the west may be the only way to shake economic corruption from the big backs. of the people here they say criticisms of the government and then you see them for a moment thinking when i say that and then the light goes off yes of course i can say that i'm free it's the opposite in the united states where people will say something overly critical of the u.s. then they think of themselves you can see their mind thinking wait a minute am i allowed to say that so here are the two ships passing in the night one is becoming democratic and free was becoming ruled by a dictatorship of america take a cue from the millions of streams oversight over six bridge and topple the dictator stream over the brooklyn bridge stream over the george washington bridge stream into washington d.c. surround a federal reserve bank demanded a dictator leave you all with yourselves to breathe freely for once.

the subject of international involvement in libya is going to be tough to avoid for the u.s. vice president who is on day two of his visit to moscow joe biden is likely to see kremlin support on possible moves and he's also due to meet prime minister vladimir putin in just a few hours you've got to remember a child was following his visit for us tea just remind us where does russia stand on the ground what exactly this washington expect from the kremlin. washington is seeking support for a possible military action in libya we know that the united states along with several other countries are considering imposing a no fly zone over libya and russia strongly opposes the plan all the president of the prime minister agreed to a today would not back any military any international intervention in libya russia has a veto on. the u.n. security council which means that without russia saying yes to that plan it could

not be enforced another interesting thing is what washington could potentially ultra to moscow in exchange for its voice in the u.s. as it once was the case with iran and north korea it's worth mentioning as well that russia is actually taking a very very reasonable approach when it comes to the middle east crisis and when it comes to leave that to tikrit the kremlin press office today reported that the president signed a ban on exporting any weaponry and military hardware to this country ok well it has to be said that this is a long planned visit so what else is joe biden hoping to achieve. well the agenda of joe biden in moscow was very robust as he's been meeting with the president is about to meet the prime minister also he'll be holding talks with the opposition leaders however it seems the focus these time is on building stronger economic ties immediate political pull the united states accounted for less than four percent of russia's external trade last year that is

a goes way beyond the potential the two sides are working on that joseph biden yesterday oversaw signing of a major deal between buoying and are afloat with some two billion dollars he also glass present but if the station mission as he was visiting skolkovo this is where the russian government plans to build its own version of the silicon valley and of course w t o was on the agenda. the u.s. supports russia's eighteen year after its to join the world trade organization that is much more than any other bidding country and russia is the only world's largest exporter me which is north. to the club it is hope however that by beyond obese year russia could finally enter the world trade organization of a war well. over two years since joe biden said it's time to hit the reset button with russia and it's been said over and over since then well could it be said that there's been much tangible progress in that time. joseph biden indeed introduced

for the first time this praise push the reset button and as an explanation for the need of the research in relations with russia he called it his father never put a man in a corner where the only way out is over you were in other words to use the do you trap approach that is. forge agreements where interests can bridge and agree to disagree you know areas where they don't and now two years on after the road was introduced we really see the first practical results of that when used to teach you can see reduction treaty the peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement much deeper collaboration on iran on north korea on a balanced stand that is what both sides describe as. the reset ok well thank you very much for that update artistic i think you know a great show of our reporting from the russian capital. political analyst troitsky thanks the russia us reset is on track but there's still twenty to be done especially when it comes to trade. the most important development is that

russia the united states have started to talk to each other. issues not only in bilateral relationship but in global politics in general and i think russia and the u.s. ordination all that seeing you she is on the situation in libya is a vivid example of their u.s. business men are on the lookout for investment opportunities. for trade opportunities with russia and so are the russian businessmen and the united states has some steps to implement such as lifting the jackson very amendment forcibly encouraging u.s. businessmen to go out and list in russia and also removing political barriers removing concerns with any sort of allegedly political motivations russian businesses may have when investing in the united states i do think the reset is on the way towards realizing its potential. well hearings will soon get underway in

the u.s. congress over the radicalization of american muslims well they're being led by homeland security chairman peter king who says they are vital to protect the country but as arky scale and for reports critics say that there are disturbing parallels so america's a tourist political witch hunts of the one nine hundred fifty s. . during america's second red scare this was the accusation to answer your head right out of the end of the promise today it's this one muslim leaders are not doing enough to cooperate with law enforcement there's actually been instances of the mobs instructing the people in their mosques not to cooperate with law enforcement accusations of disloyalty subversion treason made not by some pundit you're a wonder of radical islam there's a slight. neighborhood you live in and the mafia operates there are but by the chairman of the congressional homeland security committee republican pete king who

is launching his highly publicized hearings on the radicalization of muslims in america we know how evil was enemy is and we have to confront it and to me it's a principle to almost long when we don't single out islamic terrorists it's almost as if we are afraid to insult muslims because we're targeting the terrorist group but king dismisses the critics who say the hearings unfairly single out muslims parents a criticism seriously because they just need jerk liberal left wing reaction and there's the politically correct establishment despite criticism from the right and the left at the mere announcement of the hearings king says he won't back down we're going to name those names we're going to have expert witnesses and we'll do what we have to do which worries critics like history professor alan tracker we've always had our scapegoats today it's muslims in the one nine hundred fifty s. it was communists the. a congressman from new york is following in the footsteps of

the senator from wisconsin joseph mccarthy focusing on people's associations in this case religious rather than political but calling them. in public and exposing them to some kind of sanctions whether it's just near st louis males where there is dismissals a workplace sanctions a man of doing so that despite muslim leaders cooperation with the f.b.i. they're continuously viewed as the enemy especially since the end of the cold war the worse thrives on war and it throws comfort there for. us so we became. the new carmen is according to a department of homeland security study islamic extremists are seen as a threat in thirty one states while neo nazi and white supremacist cells groups

left out of king's homeland security hearings are seen as a threat in all but four when we talk about terrorism in the united states what the who have been the terrorists you know some poor pathetic nut in arizona timothy mcveigh in oklahoma city these are the people who are killing americans and . most of her critics on the right and the left the echoes of mccarthyism are troubling last month he also introduced the see something say something designed to prevent citizens from lawsuits when they report suspicious activity but critics say it amounts to little more than informing on each other much as they did during mccarthyism and the cold war q and ford r t. washington d.c. . all seem a giuliani who is a muslim american doctor and journalist says that the u.s. is witnessing a people being singled out just for their religion. it is a very disturbing time in america when we are singling out

a group of people based on their religion or their ethnicity or their race which is certainly what is happening here and. kenya holds for hearings to investigate the radicalization of america and homegrown terrorism in regards to muslim americans i would ask i would agree that there is a problem in terms of terrorism and violence in this country but i would just ask why are muslim americans being singled out well we are becoming is someone you country and nation who finds it acceptable to put people on trial for their religion and it could be going on trial for what they believe i'm an american citizen that was born in this country and the america that i feel so strongly for and love would not allow a group of people based on their religion i'll stay in touch around the clock all live out our teeth god comment here's what some of the news and analysis on the web site right now check out these appeals of fortune with our we've made a scene writer who takes to moscow's retro car museum. and discover how

to europe central bank could be making a grave mistake by tightening its monetary policy that's according to the economist known as dr doom and claims high interest rates may seriously hit the peripheral european countries that are struggling to export competitiveness but the chief economist from russia's bank says he has no other options. the window central banks do not take action global inflation and perhaps domestic inflation in many areas including russia starts to get out of control and then with ever very very difficult situation when central banks will have no option but to increase rates by significant. a moment which definitely would push many economists told stern story because the cost of credit because of money would increase and that would be not so a pull from the point if you will for covering. cyclical markets most asian stock
